This was back in March, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTGBJMDcras&t=484s

Look at the UK

Obama created a department for preparing for and managing pandemics, Trump shut it down in 2018.

@Beth what ignorance, you show the problem , I point to the remedy being comprehensive stimulus

@Adam135 I’m aware of the republican talking points , I’m addressing where the money was going in trumps bill which was non vulnerable big business

He claim. The ppe was empty. He had 3 years to fill it

I'm not condoning the aid given to big businesses, quite against it, but there were very few people in either chamber that fought for more stimulus payments.

Even AOC voted for the CARES act

@Adam135 well that’s why the initial bill was blocked

The new bill trump proposed should have been taken , the most recent bill

I think Trump has done some good things and some questionable things with regard to the pandemic. The fact that the average American still has to wait 5 days for a CoVid test result is ridiculous. The fact that wearing a mask is a political issue is ridiculous.

So much time was wasted on passing this senseless bill instead of providing anything in the way of even a low interest or zero interest mortgage loan so people won't have their homes seized by the banks.

Trump's operation warp speed is a good thing.

Ironically it was actually Dr. Faucci that doubted the wearing of masks altogether in early March, but since then redacted that originally and advised people to wear masks in late March early April.

The House passed the HEROES act in May.

Like Trump say.. wait after election.. Americans will get a huge stimulus relief

@Beth When studying biology 30 years ago, I learned that a pandemic was waaay overdue.

Yeah that’s because he knew Americans would panic buy ppe

We just didn’t have the supply

And retracted shortly afterwards with the explanation that he was worries about taking PPE away from medical workers.

This one?

I’ll be honest I didn’t see this one coming at all

I did.

Doc for president

well, "I" as in "biological knowledge transferred from my professors.

@Beth No thanks, I have virtues.

😂

@JonM16 disbanded and effectively dissolved

Disbanded. The same as non existant

Sure... He disbanded the task force. Thanks for the link.

A question to everyone, should Trump have given more autonomy to the states to let them decide how to best handle restrictions or enacted executive authority to enable uniform lockdowns and curfews?

Everyone blames bill gates for predicting a pandemic to the point where they say he had a hand in creating it

We'd have to change the Constitution, but I am not totally opposed to the idea.

He's spent more money on the research and development towards a vaccine than other small countries

Yeah

can the federal legislature, "pack" the supreme court by adding new justices to the existing 9?

I am not totally sure on this one... Were these funds allocated by Congress or did Trump fund it another way?

Like Kushner said.. let the blue state suffer

Oh I thought you meant bill gates

I'm talking about Bill Gates in that one, his own personal wealth

Yeah
